Silver Ounce 2015 Grizzly and Salmon, Coin from Cook Islands - detailed information

The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the value: ELIZABETH II 5 DOLLARS COOK ISLANDS 2015.

The reverse of the coin shows a grizzly bear on the left and five salmon fish on the right, depicted as outlines, in a tribal tattoo kind of style, and in a yin and yang pattern - the salmon on a white background and the grizzly on black.

There is no inscription.

Finish: prooflike, selective palladium plating.
